L'invention concerne des systèmes de séparation de passagers ayant de multiples cloisonnements de séparation qui sont disposés. Un premier cloisonnement de séparation est disposé le long d'un axe longitudinal d'un aéronef de passagers. Un second cloisonnement de séparation est disposé le long d'un axe latéral de l'aéronef. Les systèmes de séparation de passagers peuvent être utilisés pour séparer deux ou plus de deux sièges à l'intérieur de l'aéronef de passagers (par exemple, pour mettre en quarantaine des passagers malades).
